design expert + market expert

Roddyshine was formed in 2023 by veteran auction specialist Meaghan Roddy to provide advisory, consulting and curatorial services for private clients, institutions and galleries with particular focus on 20th and 21st century design, decorative arts and craft-based media. Based in Los Angeles, Meaghan has over two decades of experience working in modern and contemporary design and decorative arts auctions and helping private collectors and institutions build their collections.

In addition to spearheading many collection sales at auction in New York and London, Meaghan has been instrumental in the record-breaking results at auction for works by Peter Voulkos, Angelo Lelii, Jennifer Lee, Piero Bottoni, Finn Juhl, Doyle Lane, and László Moholy-Nagy. Meaghan has been a strong advocate for introducing new designers and ceramists to auction and establishing international markets for them.

Alongside her object and market expertise, Meaghan has created and co-produced a number of social media initiatives, most recently for Phillips Auctions, sourcing studio tours, interviews, and exclusive content from leading international artists and designers, including Kathy Butterly, Anton Alvarez, Katie Stout, and Formafantasma, as well as curators for major institutions including the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields, and the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.

She has spoken frequently on the topic of design and craft on the secondary market, including as a lecturer at the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, and as a panelist at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the San Francisco Fall Art & Antiques Show, and Design Miami/. Among the publications Meaghan has consulted for are Temperature 2012, published by The Museum of Arts and Design, New York, and Volume Gallery, Chicago (2012), and articles on the Design market for Architectural Digest, Wall Street Journal, The Art Newspaper, and The Financial Times.

Meaghan was a 2017 Curatorial Fellow for The Center for Craft in Asheville, North Carolina, and is the catalogue co-author and co-curator of the exhibition "The Good Making of Good Things: Craft Horizons Magazine 1941-1979," which traveled from The Center for Craft in 2017 to the Ceramic Research Center of the Arizona State University Art Museum in 2018, and the Minnesota Museum of American Art in 2019. Recent curatorial projects include Apex, a multi-generational contemporary fiber art show for Volume Gallery, Chicago (2024), and Implicit Explicit, a show of contemporary artists working in materials-led processes, for Hauser & Wirth, Los Angeles (2024), which was selected as an Artforum Critics’ Pick. She has served on the Board of Directors for the Center for Craft since 2021 and has also been a member of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art Decorative Arts and Design Acquisitions Committee since 2018.
